Let's get this boat in the water with the Oars where they oughter We'll row down this river to the sea We'll sail off in the sunset to some Place we ain't been yet Just to say that we've been there you and me There are islands in the ocean You can't reach except by boating Where the coconuts and mangos fall from trees On the beaches soft as cotton All your troubles soon forgotten You can toss 'em up loose 'em in the breeze Let's get this boat in the water with the Oars where they oughter We'll row down this river to the sea We'll sail off in the sunset to some Place we ain't been yet Just to say that we've been there you and me If we never make it back here we won't care Just as long as we can say that we've been there If we wanna see Samoa We can sail to Bora Bora Where they say the fish are biting there all day And the natives one supposes Run around without their colossus You can feel your inhibition slip away Let's get this boat in the water with the Oars where they oughter We'll row down this river to the sea We'll sail off in the sunset to some Place we ain't been yet Just to say that we've been there you and me We can say that we've been there you and me
